This acquisition will serve to bolster our offering into new sectors and there is a lot of synergy between our purpose, vision and mission and Clarity’s. I’m particularly excited to welcome the Clarity staff to Polaris, joining a team that I am certain is ready to help the public and private sector embrace the growing need for digitalisation of services.”

CEO of Polaris Software Group

Cavendish is pleased to announce that it has advised Polaris Software Group (backed by August Equity), the leading provider of innovative digital solutions for UK police forces and local authorities, on its acquisition of Clarity Information Solutions.

The acquisition of Clarity represents a strategic move that significantly broadens Polaris’s product portfolio and cements its position as a major player in the road safety space, both across the UK and internationally. Clarity Information Solutions has built a strong reputation for its enterprise content management solutions, supporting a wide range of public sector organisations.

The deal brings Polaris a suite of established and high-performing software products that support road offence enforcement, traffic education, civil litigation, and school-based cycling safety. These include Fast Form Ticketing Management, used for issuing camera-based road offence tickets; FOBS, an online booking and process solution for speed awareness courses; Cycle Ready, which manages school cycle training programmes; and eCLiPS, a comprehensive, evidence-based road incident and collisions system that supports civil litigation.

Anthony Platt, Head of Technology, commented:

“We are pleased to have supported Polaris Software Group and August Equity on this important acquisition. The addition of Clarity Information Solutions further strengthens Polaris’s leadership position and enhances its ability to deliver digital innovation to public sector clients in the UK and internationally.”
